Virtual Solar Observatory

Scientific paper

NASA is currently engaged in the study phase of a modest effort to establish a Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO). The VSO would serve ground- and spacebased solar physics data sets from a distributed network of archives through a small number of interfaces to the scientific community. The basis of this approach, as of all planned virtual observatories, is the translation of metadata from the various sources via source-specific dictionaries so the user will not have to distinguish among keyword usages. A single Web interface should give access to all the distributed data. We present the current status of the VSO, its initial scope, and its relation to the European EGSO effort.
